Hi Vladimir,

Just out of curiosity, I went look for what Palimpsest
meant.  Maybe there was some meaning to those better
educated than me:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/palimpsest?s=t

     noun
     1.  a parchment or the like from which writing has
         been partially or completely erased to make
         room for another text.

Beats the heck out of me.  Maybe they though it was
a fun word.  Or they thought they were being funny:
UNIX programmers do that on occasion.   (I know I do
that occasionally: "Cowardly exiting -- bummer dude!")
